It's quite cute, and has promise. I've just started the show and since the introduction I've had a silly little grin on my face. I think it'll be a good show to follow. This along with a few others will make this season exciting.

Having only seen the first episode: Lots of facepalm moments, funny dialogue, and good artwork.

The funniest part is the main character's reaction to the new world he is in, but that could potentially get boring quickly if they don't keep the plotline strong. So long as they can avoid playing the same gag over and over this looks like it has lots of potential.

I'm ...

No Spoilers.

I'm personally hoping for a bit more on the political relationship between this new world and Japan.

This story definitely has some potential, the main character has so many moments when you want to just facepalm and yell "WHY DID YOU DO THAT" at him. The whole transported to another world idea's been done soooooo many times but this one has the potential to be pretty good. Nowhere near the best show this season, but above average for sure.

This is actually a surprisingly good show. I picked it up for the premise: Otaku gets job in alternate universe spreading otaku culture. "LOL," I thought, "this sounds funny". But when I actually better than just that, especially in episode two. The main character teaches his half-elf maid Japanese, and reads her manga, and anime, manga, and game references abound.

This is actually a surprisingly good show. I picked it up for the premise: Otaku gets job in alternate universe spreading otaku culture. "LOL," I thought, "this sounds funny". But when I actually better than just that, especially in episode two. The main character teaches his half-elf maid Japanese, and reads her manga, and anime, manga, and game references abound. It's really funny, but it doesn't stop there. The show also deals with societal issues such as how Myucel (the maid) gets looked down on by society by the loli princess of the land. Also, of course, this show silmultaneously delivers and spoofs otakudom and moe. (Much like Oreimo) All in all this isn't a great show but its very funny and it's got where it it counts.

It's an interesting concept and the animation is beautiful, but I can't really get into it. Since the show is centered around otaku culture seeing some anime cliches is expected. Unfortunately, there are just so many of these cliches that I lost interest fairly quickly. I also found the main character fairly annoying because he really plays up on the stereotype of what an otaku is sometimes ...

Unfortunately, there are just so many of these cliches that I lost interest fairly quickly. I also found the main character fairly annoying because he really plays up on the stereotype of what an otaku is sometimes seen as.

It does bring in some nice fantasy elements, and if you're the person who likes fantasy and can look past cliches and stereotypes, you should watch and see if you like it. You may actually enjoy it. As for me, like I said, it's just not my thing.

I'm really liking this show, the characters seem pretty good and its funny in places without being over the top. The story is pretty open so a lot can happen. Definitely one of my favorites.Love to read the manga. In fact i think ill go do just that. ^_^

What is Outbreak Company
What would we do if we encountered an isolationist feudal society? Cortes and Pizarro would burn it to the ground and plunder everything. Mathew Perry would bring in the warships and force it to open trade at gunpoint. Captain Kirk has made first contact so often that he has a formula: encounter a 'stagnant and backwards' society, pretend to be friendly, teach them the error of their ways with a show of force or through treachery, impose righteous federation ideals, and seduce their women.

What does the bureaucratic and incompetent Japanese government do? They send in a previously unemployed hikikomori to spread otaku culture (hikikomori is probably worse than smallpox) and possibly create a market for anime. This seems like a lame start up for a wish fulfillment harem anime (which it still is), but things get interesting when our protagonist finds that social changes are necessary before manga will catch on and takes a role similar to that of the nanban missionary in southwestern Japan. Rather than only importing manga and literary culture, he finds himself in the dangerous position of introducing modern ideas that are completely at odds with the foundations of the feudal society and possibly at odds with factions within the empire. I am not sure how this will pan out, but it will probably be interesting.

Conclusion
Worth watching. At least give it two episodes before deciding it's not for you.
+ interesting story and setting (reminiscent of ct Yankee in King Arthur's court)
+ Parallels with Japanese history
+/- Pretty generic characters so far, but they fit the story.
-When stripped of all its redeeming qualities, it's a wish fulfillment moe harem show.

Otaku fantasy is a term that was appropriately coined to describe this series. Welcome our otaku protagonist and his mission to spread his culture to a new magical world, and the frequent references slipped in from a vast array of other anime from old to modern. Then follow his adventures done with typical unabashed otaku style while somehow managing to stay in one piece.

A very interesting series that looks to have something for just about everyone. Plenty of fan service, romance potential, magic, comedy, fighting, and even social/philosophical forays. I found this to be more than your average fan service show with a surprising level of character and environmental development. Looking forward to a very interesting series.

Basics:
Japan has discovered a supernatural spacial rift that allows access to a different world filled with numerous humanoid races of magical ability. Their world is still working on a feudal class system, which presents interesting complications for the company involved in trying to expand their otaku culture to this new world.

Our protagonist was hired as a representative to achieve that goal, who is a full blown otaku with questionable social skills. He meets up with his half-elf maid, the human queen (16 years old), and Japanese assistant, then the chaos commences.

...this good!
the title seemed to hide what this show is about. I always take a chance and view at least two episodes before making a decision whether its good or not. this show took me in by the end of the first episode.
there seem to be a lot to each character that its hard to even know what will happen next. its not boring or slow for a show that doesn't have a lot of shooting or fighting. ...

I have to see more as it comes out to the US one episode a week.
